When you decide to purchase your brushes, make sure they are a good quality brush. We have customers that have used same set of our brushes for over ten years. This will end up saving you money in long run. If you had to buy a $5.00 contour brush every year because it falls apart, in ten years you have spent $50.00. Our contour brush would only cost you $14.97 for same amount of use. Another way brushes will save you money is you will not waste so much of your cosmetics. Since brush is only used to apply cosmetics there is no need to wipe excess off every time you use it. You only need to clean them once every two weeks.

As you can see by examples I have given brushes can only make your life easier. Not only will your make-up come out better, you will save money too. Remember an artist needs their tools and so do you.

You just finished applying your make-up and you are about to put on your mascara. You open it and find out it has dried up again. Many of companies that are producing "waterproof mascara" are still trying to figure out a way to keep their mascara waterproof without flaking and drying eyelash. This is a pretty hard task for chemists with 10 years of college to figure out. Our mascara leaves your lashes thick and soft. There are no staining agents to cause our mascara to flake or dry your lashes. Those same staining agents are what cause water-proof mascaras to dry out so fast. Even though they are charging less for their mascaras, store brand manufacturers know that you will never be able to use entire tube.

I have saved best for last, concealer. When you browse our website you will notice we do not sell anything named concealer. The reason for this is it is not needed. Our Beige Eye-lite is a highlighter. This is used to lighten dark areas of face like dark circles under eyes, frown lines and other wrinkles or blemishes. The benefit to using our Beige Eye-lite is that it is creamy to blend seamlessly with rest of your make-up, and you will still get coverage you are looking for. The problem with a lot of concealer is they are formulated like lip balm, so no matter how much you blend you can still see them.

I am not here to tell you what you are using is wrong. If you have been with us at Make-up by Armando since we started our website in December of 1999 you know our philosophy is to help our visitors get tools and information professionals use. I am merely showing you what you are buying for $2.50. We sell and promote our cosmetics because we know how well they can help everyone. We have had our own line of cosmetics since early 70's. Just look at facts and decide for yourself if it is really worth buying "store brand cosmetics."
